Maybe you could just drop the other shoe right now, instead of laying in wait to ambush us?
meaning spirit, can you provide an explanation? You know i dont buy the trinity, but
this is about translation.

Yes robbie, the Holy Spirit is indeed part of the Trinity.
(Now run!!!!) 😲
'ruach', translated as spirit, also wind in some cases, as being an apparition?

The Bible says in "Him" we live and move and have our being , not in "it" - therefore the Holy Spirit is God Himself , a personal presence.

You say you don't "buy" the trinity
He has also stated that Jesus is Abaddon, the arch-angel Michael and an agent of Jehovah.
Therefore assuming robbie speaks the truth of the JW organisation, the JWs credit Jehovah and an angel with the glory that belongs only to God for salvation.
I think traditional trinitarians or those worried about Greek translations of the original word for "ghost" have little to be concerned about.

not, for nowhere else is it translated as ghost, spirit yes, wind yes, but Ghost? This is
really a rather poor reflection of how much you people actually know about your Bibles,
you have really no idea why a verse is translated in the way it is, do you? that is very
very worrying.

question, why you drivel on about unrelated and irrelevant details is a testimony to
your babbling ability and nothing more.

You brought up the trinity in your OP so I'm not sure why your typical abusve vitriol needs yet another airing.
